Run-time error if specify PerRequestLifetimeManager

[geetmenon]

We get the following runtime error on startup if we specify PerRequestLifetimeManager when registering types using Unity-MVC 5.11.1 (note: we do not have a direct reference to System.Web in our project):

TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'System.Web.IHttpModule' from assembly 'System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.
